Subject: Re: Add/Remove/Start/Stop services on CentOS

If I use chkconfig to register a service then that service is associated with a run level.  What if I do not want the service to be associated with a run level, but to be stand alone?

use chkconfig to register /etc/init.d as services
chkconfig --list
chkconfig --level [run levels] [service] [on/off]
ie. chkconfig --level 345 httpd on

More questions so I can make sure I understand what I did and why.  Thank you for your help!




All services are standalone processes,
that are started via start up code found in /etc/xinetd.d/



To add a standalone process put it's start up code in /etc/xinetd.d/



To remove a process from running at
start-up or to stop it all together remove it's start-up code from
/etc/xinetd.d/



Then restart xinetd :
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart (if installed)

Other commands- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Stop xinetd: /etc/init.d/xinetd stop
(if installed)
Start xinetd /etc/init.d/xinetd start
(if installed)
Verify that xinetd is running :
/etc/init.d/xinetd status (if installed)
See what services are running :
/sbin/service --status-all



To check Apache, which is running as a
service, issue : /sbin/service httpd status



Services are stand alone and run no
matter what run level the system is on?

What if xinetd is not installed?  Such is the case on my Fedora box.

Thanks!
